Description: The artist avoids traditional proportions to shape the colours, which in this way stand alone. This work is representative of one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the shapes where the essential identity to the piece is the pattern of unconscious thought. An interesting aspect of this prototype is the strangely distorted rapidly flying elements contrasting strongly with the shapes of the doodle. Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create complex and fascinating interactions with the self. The spectator is drawn by the scale and openness of the work into the world of single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings.

The artist employs a limited canvas to restrict the colours, which can by this means subsist in a world of their own choosing. The work shares not only Sol Aris's death-identification but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power. An interesting aspect of this work is the world of salt and pepper contrasting strongly with the impersonal forms and industrial colours of the work.

``The dialogue created by the comination of textures, colours, and dimensions evokes nature in its pure, controlled, yet fanciful expression. Sensorial expreiences and organic abstractions represent man's drive for interpreting reality and our mental processes. In a seemingly chaotic world, the artist struggles to find inner serenity and to convey it in his work. Each piece becomes a unique instance of wholeness within the labyringht of life.'' [describing Alex Garcin, Untitled 2004]
